Unexpected Strength

The wall blocked the view of the blackguards and gave Erik and Richard the chance to get out of the building without being pelted by attacks.

They went behind the stone wall, leaning their backs against it.

"I just need you to attack from afar and distract them," Erik said.

Richard struggled to hear amidst the barrage of attacks raining down on the wall.

"Do nothing dangerous, Richard, or the whole point of coming here to get you out would have been pointless!"

Richard nodded, and then Erik channeled mana into his Frostwind Fire tempest brain crystal power.

A dense cloud of vapor formed around him, spreading throughout the courtyard.

As the heavy mist settled, it created a shroud of obscurity that would make it challenging for the enemy to detect Richard.

Visibility dropped to nearly zero. "What the hell is this?" one of them shouted.

"I can't see a thing!"

Erik took a deep breath. "It's time."

Richard nodded.
